2003 JEEP LIBERTY LTD. CAR VIBRATED AT SPEEDS OF 55MPH AND ABOVE. FOX DEALER, AUBURN NY WAS GREAT, DAIMLER-CHRYSLER WAS NOT. CHANGED ALL 4 TIRES AND 3 WHEELS WHICH DIDN'T FIX. CHRYSLER CLOSED CASE "WITHIN MFG SPECS...". DEALER CONTINUED TO TRY TO FIX AT THEIR EXPENSE. BALANCED BOTH DRIVESHAFTS WHICH WERE OUT OF BALANCE. STILL VIBRATED. MOVED ALIGNMENT OF SPLINE/DIFFERENTIAL. DIDN'T FIX. FINALLY, DAIMLER-CHRYSLER REGIONAL SVC MGR OFFERED A SWAP FOR A NEW CAR, BUT WITH ME PAYING MILEAGE OVER 8K. NY LEMON LAW ALLOWS 12K WITHOUT MILEAGE FEE. I INITIATED LEMON LAW PROCEEDURE. THE DAY BEFORE ARBITRATION DAIMLER-CHRYSLER LEGAL REPS OFFERED SAME TERMS I'D HAVE WON IN ARBITRATION. GOT RID OF LIBERTY AT 11900 MILES. LEASED A GRAND CHEROKEE. THE VERDICT IS STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION ON THIS CAR.*AK

VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT AT ALL TIMES ON ANY ROAD SURFACE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER 4 TIMES SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE (AUGUST 2003) WITH NO RESOLUTION. ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN CHECK EVERY TIME. DEALER CLAIMS TO HAVE ADJUSTED THE ALIGNMENT MORE TO THE LEFT IN ORDER TO COMPENSATE THE VEHICLE'S PULL TO THE RIGHT, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE DEALER RODE IN THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER STATED THAT OLDER MODEL JEEP LIBERTYS TEND TO DRIVE TO THE RIGHT, EVEN WHEN ALIGNED PROPERLY. (THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY 2002). THIS VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE BECAUSE I MUST CONSTANTLY PULL THE STEERING TO THE LEFT IN ORDER TO STAY ON THE ROAD, AND I FEEL THAT I COULD LOSE CONTROL VERY EASILY.*AK

I HAVE A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED WITH 4 WHEEL ANTI-LOCK DISC BRAKES. THEY HAVE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED ON SNOW AND ICE UNTIL TODAY WHEN THEY DID LOCK UP AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. I WAS DRIVING ON A HILL WITH 4 WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED, BRAKED AND THEY LOCKED. HARDER PRESSURE WOULD NOT GET THEM TO PULSATE AND RELEASE/LOCK/RELEASE AS DESIGNED. I SKIDDED THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND OFF THE ROAD AND ONLY REGAINED CONTROL BY ACCELERATING OUT OF THE SKID. NO DAMAGE OR INJURY. *LA

I HAVE A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY. I AM HAVING A BALL JOINT PROBLEM WITH MY JEEP BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER SIMILAR TO THE DODGE. I PURCHASED MY JEEP (NEW) IN JANUARY OF 2003.I BEGAN HEARING A "SCRUBBING" NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE IN APPROX APRIL 2003. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER NEAR MAXWELL AFB, ALABAMA; THEY STATED THAT BECAUSE OF RECENT RAIN SOMETHING MAY HAVE BEEN WET/ MOIST. I CONTINUED WITH MY TRIP BACK TO DC. I DIDN'T REALLY NOTICE THE NOISE ANYMORE. APPROX MIDDLE OCTOBER I HAD A FLAT TIRE (FRONT PASSENGER). IT WAS REPLACED BY AAA CONTRACTOR & FIXED BY A TIRE DEALER. WHEN I INQUIRED WHAT WENT WRONG, THEY DIDN'T/COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. ON OCTOBER 31, 2003 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO BE SERVICED AT A ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA JEEP DEALER FOR A 22,000 MILE SERVICE (PREVENTATIVE CARE). SO I DISHED OUT APPROX 270.00 FOR THIS SERVICE. TWO DAYS LATER I NOTICED A "SCRUBBING" NOISE AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WAS LOUDER AND WAS HORRIBLE! I VISITED THE VA JEEP DEALER FURIOUS THAT THEY JUST SERVICED MY TRUCK & I STARTED HEARING THE NOISE. I WAS TOLD THAT MY FRONT BALL JOINT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, IT JUST WAS A BAD PART AND IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I RECEIVED A CALL THE NEXT DAY THAT THE PART WAS IN BUT WASN'T ABLE TO BRING IT IN UNTIL TWO APPROX WEEKS LATER. THE SERVICE TECH ASSURED MY THE TRUCK WAS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT TRY TO GET THE PART REPLACED SOON. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE TRUCK PULLING TO THE RIGHT & STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKING.

I OWN A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM JEEP AND EVEN CONTACTED THEM SINCE I WAS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. THE PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING IS THAT WHEN I BRAKE I FEEL MOVEMENT IN THE FRONT END. BEFORE THE RECALL I BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM WHICH THE SERVICE AREA CALLED A BUMP STOP. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN THEY SAID THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY JEEP EVEN THOUGH I RECEIVED THE NOTICE, AND WAS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. I FEEL UNSAFE KNOWING THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO RECORD OF THE RECALL AND THAT I DRIVING A CAR WITH A POTENTIAL FOR DISASTER. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE?

WHEN CHANGING A FRONT TIRE ON MY 2003 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED, I DISCOVERED THAT THE JACK DOES NOT COMPLETELY SEAT INTO THE NOTCH ON THE BODY WELD SEAM. THE EDGES OF THE NOTCH ARE SLOPED. THE WIDTH OF THE JACK ALLOWS IT TO ONLY GO ABOUT HALF WAY INTO THE NOTCH. *AK AFTER JACKING UP MY LIBERTY AND BEGINNING TO CHANGE THE TIRE, THE JACK SLIPPED. NO DAMAGE OR INJURY RESULTED, BUT THIS COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS. THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER'S SOLUTION WAS TO GRIND OUT THE NOTCH. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM IS LIMITED TO MY LIBERTY OR IF THE DEALER REPORTED THIS TO JEEP.

ONLY 9000 MILES ON VEHICLE. LEFT UPPER BALL JOINT IS WORN AND MAKING NOISE. RIGHT UPPER BALL JOINT IS ALSO SHOWING SIGNS OR WEAR. NOTICE: NO SERVICEABILITY OF BALL JOINTS. THERE ARE NO GREASE FITTINGS ON UPPER OR LOWER BALL JOINTS.

THE TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING AND THE CAR HAS ONLY 4,000 MILES ON IT. ALSO, THE REAR WHEELS ARE MAKING A LOUD SQUEAL WHEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THE DAY. DEALER SAID WHEEL NOISE IS DUE TO A NEEDED REBUILD OF DISC BRAKES AND THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM ON A WAITING LIST TO GET MY BRAKES FIXED. HOWEVER, THE TRANNY SHOULD NOT BE LEAKING AT ONLY 4,000 MILES. *JB

ON 5-6-03 I PURCHASED A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. ON 5-29-03 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP FOR THE FIRST TIME(995 MILES) FOR A POSSIBLE MISSING IN THE ENGINE. TECH FOUND THE A/C OVERFULL BUT NO MISS IN THE ENGINE. THE A/C WAS DISCHARGED AND RECHARGED TO THE PROPER LEVEL. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. EVERY 8 TO 10 SECONDS THE ENGINE SURGES( WHAT FEELS LIKE A MISS) AND MORE FREQUENT WITH HIGHER RPMS. THE SECOND SHOP VISIT WAS AT 1,420 MILES WITH SAME PROBLEM. NO FIX! THE THIRD SHOP VISIT WAS AT 1,941 MILES WITH SAME PROBLEM. NO FIX! THE FOURTH SHOP VISIT WAS AT 2,089 MILES WITH SAME PROBLEM. NO FIX! THE FIFTH SHOP VISIT WAS AT 2273 MILES WITH SAME PROBLEM. NO FIX! ON THE FIFTH VISIT A CHRYS. SERVICE REP.(JIM DUPREE) KEPT VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS. FOUND THE PRESSURE IN THE A/C IS GOING FROM 140PSI TO 180PSI IN LESS THAN A SECOND WHICH IS WHAT CAUSES THE JERK(MISS) IN THE ENGINE. CAUSE: A SENSOR THAT CONTROLS THE A/C COMPRESSOR. THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE CAUSING THE VERY LOW GAS MILEAGE(17MPH ON THE HIGHWAY). AS OF 9-12-03 I HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED OF A FIX. I WAS ADVISED BY THE CHRYS. CUST. SERVICE PHONE LINE THE MATTER HAD BEEN TURNED OVER TO THE DIST. MANAGER MATT WITTERS AND HE HAS MADE HIS OFFER OF A TRADE TO A DIFFERENT TYPE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER SPOKE TO HIM IN PERSON OR BY PHONE. IN THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT CHRYS. IS DOING TO FIND A FIX BUT I HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT MR. WITTERS HAS FAILED. I WAS ALSO INFORM MR. WITTERS

VEHICLE OPERATES PROPERLY THROUGH 3RD GEAR PRIOR TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ENGAGING. ONCE THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ENGAGES, THERE IS A NOTICEABLE SLIPPING.

THE SLIPPING IS NOT INTERMITTENT; IT OCCURS ONCE THE VEHICLE IS HOT, AND WHEN THERE IS A INCREASE IN ENGINE LOAD, SUCH AS WHEN GOING UP HILLS (LONG GRADE) OR WHEN THE THROTTLE PRESSURE IS INCREASED. IT IS ALSO MOST NOTICEABLE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON. THE SLIP STOPS (OR AT LEAST I DO NOT FEEL IT) ONCE THE TCC DISENGAGES. *JB

THERE IS A HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRUCK WHEN REACHING 60MPH ALSO THE JEEP VIBRATES AT THAT SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO WARNOCK IN CEDAR KNOLLS AFTER SPENDING MORE THAN 3 DAYS BACK AND FORTH THEY ADVISED IT WAS THE DRIVESHAFT, LEFT THE JEEP WITH WARNOCK ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE CONDITION IS UNDER INVESTIGATION, SO THE TRUCK IS NOT FIXED AND I CAN'T TAKE IT MORE THAN 60MPH..*AK

2003 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT (4X4) VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY BETWEEN 45-55 MPH. DEALERSHIP REPLACED REAR DRIVE SHAFT, WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS MY SECOND JEEP LIBERTY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST WAS A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT (4X4) WITH A VIBRATION PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVES SHAFTS ON THIS VEHICLE, WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE WAS REPLACED BY CHRYSLER UNDER THE WISCONSIN LEMON LAW. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE JEEP LIBERTY THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR.

STEEL WHEELS ON MY JEEP LIBERTY HAVE A LIPID GROVE THAT FILLS WITH ICE,SNOW,MUD AND SAND. THIS IS ESPECIALLY BAD WITH OFF ROAD USE. THIS CAUSES THE FRONT WHEEL BALANCE TO GO OUT AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STEER AND HANDLE VERY ERRACTICALLY. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL TRIES WITH A POWER HOSE TO CLEAR THE WHEELS. YOU CANNOT SEE BEHIND THE SPOKES TO SEE IF ALL IS CLEAR.*JB

2003 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED-HUMMING/VIBRATION ON RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE-EXTREMELY BAD IN THE MORNING BUT CAN BE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. CHRYSLER TECH IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT IN SOME LIBERTYS BUT DOESN'T KNOW WHY IT OCCURS OR HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE INSTEAD CHOSEN TO CALL THIS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECT MAY BE AT RISK SINCE CHRYSLER HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THE VIBRATION/HUMMING AND NO CURRENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. *NLM

THE REAR BRAKES HAD A CONTINUOUS METAL TO METAL SOUND. THE DEALERSHIP MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THE NOISE STILL EXISTED. *JB

SINCE PURCHASING IN SEPT 02 HAVE HAD VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE SIX TIMES FOR NUMEROUS CONCERNS, REPEATEDLY FOR A CLUNKING/GRINDING SOUND FROM THE PSGR SD FT, A SEVERE PULLING OF THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT, A VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING HWY SPEEDS, AND INTERMITTENT ENGINE MISSES. DEALERSHIP TWICE REPLACED THE FRONT END STRUT MOUNTS WHICH ELIMATED THE GRIND/CLUNK, BUT CANNOT ASCERTAIN THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE'S INSTABILITY (PULLING) ON THE ROAD NOR WITH THE ENGINE MISFIRES. AN ADJUSTMENT (OFF SPEC) TO THE ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED BY DEALERSHIP WHICH IN TURN CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO PULL TO THE LEFT AND ALSO ENCOURAGED MORE STEERING VIBRATION AND WORSENED MPG - AVG 13.21 MPG WHERE INITIALLY I GOT 18 -20 MPG. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT B/C ROADS ARE ANGLED FOR WATER RUNOFF, THIS LIKEWISE KEEPS MY VEHICLE FROM STAYING ON THE ROAD (!?) AM CURRENTLY BEGINNING TO EXPERIENCE A CLUNKING NOISE FROM REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL AREA, BUT HAVE NOT YET BROUGHT IT TO DEALER'S ATTENTION.*JB
